The first of these is The Weirdest Pets In The Multiverse, which showcases five of Magic’s most-played creatures and their loyal companions with art by Omar Rayyan.Īs far as cards go, these aren’t the biggest or splashiest, but they do see a lot of play. The final three are more traditional Secret Lair fair, with thematic art treatments rather than promotional crossovers or Special Guests taking the focus. Reflector Mage is also a useful control piece, bumping creatures back to your opponent’s hand and stopping them from coming back out. Lilliana is the most noteworthy card of the bunch, giving you access to lots of mana if you control enough Swamps. The cards themselves are interesting, if not the most show-stealing ones out there. While the image released by Wizards shows Reflector Mage as having the more ornate legendary frame, and Lilliana lacking it completely, Hughes has confirmed on Twitter that this is a mistake that will be fixed in time for the cards to be shipped out. According to Hughes, each of the styles was inspired by the likes of Alexander McQueen, Gucci, and Acne Studios.

The four cards have a heavy artifact theme:Īll four of these have playability in a number of formats, with Solemn Simulacrum and Skullclamp in particular being big parts of the Commander format. He produced the buy-a-box promo card for Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, giving Satoru Umezawa a very Metal Gear Rising cyber-ninja look. This isn’t the first time Shinkawa has contributed to Magic before, though. Oddly, Junji Ito isn’t the only Hideo Kojima collaborator to get a drop, as Yoji Shinkawa – the artist behind Metal Gear’s iconic box and character art – is bringing four more cards in his style. As with most Secret Lairs, they will only be available for approximately one month before they are removed from sale.
